Peace it together

Summary: The eight short films in this package are the product of the three-week "Peace it Together" program that took place in British Columbia, Canada in the summer of 2008. After skilled professionals facilitated trust-building and intense dialogue, the 30 youth participants were divided into small mixed-cultural groups. The groups were then tasked to make a drama, documentary or animated short film about the Palestinian-Isreali conflict. Working with a filmmaking mentor, they had ten days to create their films from start to finish. The youths were responsible for all aspects of the filmmaking, from conception and story boarding, to shooting, acting, casting, editing, sound, and music. -- container
